Incorrect max file limit when extracting files from zip folder in SharePoint

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 8

Hi all, trying to understand something regarding the flow I’ve built. It first takes a zip file and extracts the contents of that into a SharePoint folder. No problems so far. Then it takes a zip folder within the original unpacked folder and tries to extract the folder contents of the ‘inner’ zip folder and on some occasions it fails with the ‘Max file limit or 100 files’ error.

 

I’ve checked the file contents and there isn’t over 100 files in the zip folder but I also unpacked the contents manually on my desktop of a file where the flow failed and the unpacked size was 38MB.

 

Reading up on the limitations it appears there is a 50MB for the extract files function but as I said the unpacked file contents was no bigger than 38MB? So what gives? Why would it give me that error if neither failure condition has been met? 

Am I misunderstanding something or is it a limit taking into account the initial extract function and stacking it somehow onto the second extract action?

I have the same question (0)
